I believe that the smallest defined unit of time on the geological scale are ages.
Here are all of them, ranked from largest to smallest: eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages.
Eons are very large chunks of time which encompass more than 500 years, whereas ages can last from a couple of years to about a hundred.
Answer:
a) The dependent variable is defined as the variable that is being tested. The dependent variable here is the percentage of children who collected extra candy.
b) The data does not support the hypothesis 1 of the psychologist which states that the children would take more candy when they were alone. In the graph, percentage of children that took extra candy was higher when they were in group than when they were alone.
The data supports the hypothesis 2, which states that the children would take more candy when they were masked. From the graph, the percentage of children who took extra candy was higher when they were masked than when when they were unmasked.
c) The psychologist cannot generalize her findings to all children because she didn't use a random sampling procedure and she used children only from her neighborhood which doesn't represent the general population of children.
d) This study is not a naturalistic behaviour because the psychologist is dealing with subjects. She may also choose to manipulate the variables. Therefore we cannot call this study a naturalistic behaviour.
e) Modeling: This may play a role in the children's behaviour because the children may try to imitate what others did. The children may take extra candy because they saw others collecting extra candy.
Deindividuation: Here, the children's behaviour may be influenced by a feeling of anonymity. The children may take extra candy because they feel anonymous. Deinvuduated children feel anonymous due a feeling of loss of identity.
This explains why the percentage of chidren who took extra candy when in group was higher than that of the children who were alone.
Note: The graph is attached
Firstly, many statistics are taken from a small group of people used to represent the general population. Say a news channel reported that 81% of teenagers in America were planning on going to a four-year college. This statistic is most likely taken from a randomly selected group of teenagers, and calculated with a margin of error. Because after all, it's nearly impossible to survey every single teenager in America. This can lead to some statistics that are not really representative of the actual percentage of people. This only gets more likely the larger the general population being "surveyed" is. Another reason is that the media is not always truthful with statistics. Things can be altered and not many people will notice. Hope this helps!
